BASE MATERIALS
Surfaces to which the facade can be anchored may consist of standardized
materials (e.g. concrete, CMU, metal studs, wood, etc.) or non-standardized
materials. Surface layers such as rendering, coatings or facings do not count as
load-bearing materials.
The following are suitable base materials:
• Concrete
• Grouted CMU
• Wood studs
• Wood
• Metal studs
• Existing / unclassified masonry (load-bearing capacity must be verified by pull-
out tests)
• Sandwich components (e.g. metal, concrete or lightweight concrete) may be
considered suitable only after verification
